There's definitely a distinction
(lemmy.world)
I've seen some people getting genuinely uncomfortable at the recent discourse. Just wanted to point out there's more than one kind of weird.
Do they accept being called weird? I think you give them entirely too much credit... but that's just my opinion.
no, they absolutely dont. giving them an option of 'good weird' is going to derail that
I think the point is that Republicans detest the idea of being weird no matter what, so they would rage at the suggestion of being a good weird anyway. To them "good weird" is an oxymoron, even though they are actually very weird and not in any kind of good way.
yeah that makes sense. i was envisioning them attempting to 'own' it by jumping into 'good weird' with both feet.
but as someone else pointed out also, thats prolly giving them too much sefl-aware credit
They've been bullying the good weirdos for decades, there's no backtracking now!
I get that. I don't think they're capable of that level of self reflection. To them, weird is BAD. It's being a part of the "out" group, which is anathema to them.
